Governments Can Procure and Secure More Efficiently and Confidently with GovRAMP
Diverse government standards and significant data sprawl through cloud service providers complicate today’s security environment, leaving governments less secure than ever amidst increasing cyber threats. GovRAMP lets governments trust but verify service provider products, making procurement more efficient and data more secure.
Service Providers Can Improve Security and Simplify Compliance with GovRAMP
Meeting the complex security standards and supplying (and resupplying) documentation required by various government partners can be confusing, time consuming, and costly. GovRAMP offers transferable credentials through standardized cybersecurity verification, allowing providers to verify once and serve many.
Back to the Basics: What Is Risk?
Cybersecurity risk isn’t just about hackers—it’s about how likely something is to go wrong, how serious the impact could be, and what you’re doing to manage it. Our new Back to the Basics series starts with the foundational concept of risk and why it matters in government.
